Our luxury motorcycle tours are motorcycle travel at a gentle pace: short legs on quiet back roads, charming hotels picked for their setting and time to enjoy them. The perfect formula for a motorcycle vacation as a couple, two-up on the same bike or each on your own.
Our Luxury Tour currently runs in South India: Luxury Tour in Kerala, 10 days among tea estates, spice gardens and backwaters, with a night aboard a houseboat.
Luxury Tours blend motorcycling, relaxation and free time into a comfortable getaway for two or more travelers. The pace is laid-back, with short legs that leave room for breaks, and the lodging is picked for its charm and comfort. You don’t need to be an experienced rider: you just need to feel comfortable on a motorcycle on small roads, sometimes bumpy, taken at an easy pace. A tour leader rides up front and a support vehicle carries your luggage: a true two-up road trip, traveling light.
It’s a motorcycle trip at an easy pace: short legs, charming hotels picked for their setting and time to enjoy them, while a support vehicle carries the luggage. It suits couples, riders who would rather cruise than rack up miles, and anyone who likes to travel in comfort. Luxury Tour describes a travel style, not a difficulty level: each itinerary shows its own level on its page.
Our Luxury Tour on sale is Luxury Tour in Kerala, in South India: 10 days with 8 on the bike, from the tea estates of Munnar to the backwaters, in winter, during the dry season. Its next published departure runs February 17 to 26, 2027. Our Luxury Tour itineraries in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Sri Lanka have no scheduled departure: they can run as a private tour for your group, so check with your travel advisor.
On our Motorcycle Rambles, riding days are longer, to cover more scenery; our Adventure Tours spend much more time on dirt. A Luxury Tour does the opposite: fewer miles, more time at each stop and upscale lodging. To ride without a guide, see our Freedom self-guided tours; to travel with other women, our Girls Ride trips.
Yes, these tours are made for a romantic motorcycle getaway: two-up on the same bike, the passenger takes in the views on easy legs, or each of you rides your own motorcycle. You can also come solo and join the group, which has no more than 10 motorcycles, or 12 participants counting passengers. With friends, it’s a great way to share a motorcycle road trip without chasing the miles.
For the 10 days of Luxury Tour in Kerala, plan on $4,390 per rider and $3,990 per passenger. The price covers, among other things, the motorcycle, the team, the charming hotels, the night on a houseboat and the support vehicle. Add your flights to Kochi, personal spending and a $41 registration fee on your first trip with Vintage Rides. A private itinerary is quoted on request.
Comfort starts with where you stay: charming hotels, heritage homes or upscale properties, picked for their setting, sometimes with an unusual night, like aboard a houseboat in Kerala. You ride light, your luggage follows in the support vehicle, and a mechanic looks after the bikes. Short legs leave time to stroll, sightsee or relax, without losing the spirit of a real motorcycle trip.
